Interesting that a year and model of car, with which the majority of people have had excellent luck, has 'ruined your life'. The way the car destroyed your incipient marriage was particularly diabolical. Have you had a date since?

This is a joke. If these cars are so terrible, then why do you still see so many of them on the road today?? This body style hasn't been made since 1999, and I see dozens each week. There are probably as many of these as old Accords in this area, and more than older Camrys.

Buicks in general are very reliable and comfortable cars. Of course they build a lemon once in a while, and some models are better than others.

1994 Buick LeSabre from North America

Model year	1994
Year of manufacture	1994
First year of ownership	1999
Most recent year of ownership	2010
Engine and transmission	Automatic
Most recent distance	174000 miles

Summary:

My car has been a good car for the most part; mainly small issues like the windows

Faults:

I have had issues with the windows not wanting to go up or down.. Has any one tried hitting on the door below the arm rest thing and pushing up/down on the button at the same time? It has so far worked for me in either getting a window up or down. I hope this helps someone.

For those of you that have had trouble with your car losing power. I had this issue, and took it to the mechanic I usually do. At the time it happened to me, I had less than a half a tank of gas; when I took it to the mechanic, I had filled up before going. They said it was the placement of the float in the gas tank that causes the Buick to just lose power. Since then, I have kept my car above half a tank of gas, and have not had that issue again.

General Comments:

Was really considering getting another Buick, however after reading the comments on this forum, and not liking the idea of a battery being under the back seat, I am considering other options. All new cars have new gizmos to go bad, so not sure what to get as of yet.

Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know

The Park Avenue had the battery located under the hood, I also believe the Century had it located there. The 2000-2005 LeSabre is the only model that I am aware of from Buick that had the battery located under the rear seat. I have owned two Park Avenues ('99 and '05), and have been very pleased with both of them.

The corresponding Rivieras (the funny rear end ones) also have the battery under the rear seat, and it's expensive!

It needs a special vent for outboard dumping of hydrogen gas, so a trip to the local auto parts store will show you need a Delco one, unless you are willing to deal with the potential risk of cabin fumes.
